Hi everyone,
-a good friend has asked me if I could help him find any information on his Winchester modle 1894 Lever action .38-55 hex brl rifle. SerialNo.#50450
-Stamped forward on the rear site: "Marbles Gladstone Mich. USA"
-Engraved inside the Lt side acton above the leaver (when open) is etched: "Michigan"
-Rifle appeares to have been reBlued & wood reTreated some time ago. You can see some earlier pitting under the reFinishing.
Rifle is in good working order & the best I can tell is that it may have been made in the late 1800's.
I am looking for any history you may be able to provide for this rifle, date made, mumbers produced, years made, condition as indicated by the pictures, and its range of value.
I thank you in advance for your time.
